The Conch Republic - The "Republic" of Key
West, Florida was formed in 1982 when the U.S. military
blockaded the Florida Keys. In reaction, Key West Mayor
Dennis Wardlow seceded from the Union, declared war, surrendered,

Abkhazia A fragment of the old USSR, it's either

Dagestan -- Sandwiched between Chechnya and the
Caspian Sea. Like Chechnya, Caucasian/Islamic, and threatening

announced that Tatarstan wants equal standing with other republics,
including Russia, in any greater Russian empire (see RFE/RL Newsline).
